The studio has offered them the opportunity to Dance The Magic as part of the holiday parade on the main street of Disneyland in December of 2016. “There are 54 dancers in total coming on the Disney trip and 20 of them are from Martensville," said Kristy, the studio owner. Getting that many kids to Disneyland is a huge undertaking and requires a lot of fundraising. So far the group has held a steak night Sunday, March 20 with 14 fundraising families participating. Another endeavor has been a special T-shirt. Kristee Adrian is on the fundraising committee and said, “The t-shirts turned out great, and we are potentially looking into another order for the group going to Disney.” A mini showcase was held Sunday, April 10th and was another great success. Tickets for a blanket that was made for the group to be raffled, sold from the steak night through to recital. The winning ticket was drawn for at the mini showcase and was won by Sandra Stone. The fundraising committee has a number of ongoing opportunities to support the group and will continue to do fundraisers throughout the year.
